Problem-Oriented Policing
Effective Policing through Regulatory Control
Local police have long assumed some responsibility for enforcing state and local government administrative regulations, such as those governing licenses and permits. In recent years, local police have broadened their use of regulatory authority to make it an integral part of their crime and disorder control efforts, doing so either directly or through the cooperation of other local and state regulatory agencies. This shift in police legal orienta…
Which Way to Better Policing
Pioneers in policing
The strength of a democracy and the quality of life enjoyed by its citizens are determined in large measure by the ability of the police to discharge their duties. (Goldstein, 1977, p. 1)From among
Preventing Crowd Violence
From jubilant sports fans celebrating a victory to angry political protestors, crowds create volatile situations that can all too often result in violence or property destruction. Preventing Crowd Violence offers a lucid examination of crowd behavior and of law enforcement tactics designed to deescalate tensions and promote cooperative interactions
Policing and police research
David Bradley and Christine Nixon’s paper, ‘Ending the “Dialogue of the Deaf”: Evidence and Policing Policies and Practices, an Australian Case Study’ (Bradley & Nixon, 2009) is the latest contribu

Spatial Variability in Toxicity Indicators Used to Rank Chemical Risks
Objectives. This study used 6 different measures of toxicity to explore spatial and statistical variations in relative risk indicators of Toxic Release Inventory emissions. Methods. Statistical and spatial correlations between the 6 indices were computed for individual South Carolina facilities. Results. Although the 6 toxicity indices are not highly correlated in theory, they have more commonality in practice. There was significant spatial varia…
Revealing the Vulnerability of People and Places
Losses from environmental hazards have escalated in the past decade, prompting a reorientation of emergency management systems away from simple postevent response. There is a noticeable change in policy, with more emphasis on loss reduction through mitigation, preparedness, and recovery programs. Effective mitigation of losses from hazards requires hazard identification, an assessment of all the hazards likely to affect a given place, and risk-re…
